The Station Interface Receive Interrupt Detect Register (SIRXIDR)
contains a 16-bit wide mask of 'interrupt detected' events for each ring
associated with a port. Bit i is write-1-to-clean for RX ring i.

I have no explanation whatsoever how this line of code came to be
inserted in the blamed commit. I checked the downstream versions of that
patch and none of them have it.

The somewhat comical aspect of it is that we're writing a binary number
to the SIRXIDR register, which is derived from enetc_bd_unused(rx_ring).
Since the RX rings have 512 buffer descriptors, we end up writing 511 to
this register, which is 0x1ff, so we are effectively clearing the
'interrupt detected' event for rings 0-8.

This register is not what is used for interrupt handling though - it
only provides a summary for the entire SI. The hardware provides one
separate Interrupt Detect Register per RX ring, which auto-clears upon
read. So there doesn't seem to be any adverse effect caused by this
bogus write.

There is, however, one reason why this should be handled as a bugfix:
next_to_clean _should_ be committed to hardware, just not to that
register, and this was obscuring the fact that it wasn't. This is fixed
in the next patch, and removing the bogus line now allows the fix patch
to be backported beyond that point.
